When you click a link in your browser a dotted line appears around the active state.
Personally; I think this looks messy and is not needed, escpecially if you are using CSS to highlight active links when you mouse over.

A simple fix is to include the following into your CSS template.

a {
    outline:none; /* FF1.5+ IE7+*/
    -moz-outline: /* FF<=1.5*/
}

Whilst at Jagex, I redesigned their corporate website.
As you can see above their old website (right) was slightly out of date and needed to be modernised, whilst still remaining clean and minimalistic. I feel I managed to achieve this with the design they went with (left).

If you read on you can see a number of other designs and a functional prototype I produced, which didn’t quite make it through to going live.

About 4 years ago I came up with my own CMS (Content Management System) this was around the time when PHPNuke was big (I was bored and wanted develop my own CMS) . At the time of writing the CMS; I was concerned with database connectivity and and hated all those websites that errored and printed the SQL = “select ID, Content from tbl_News” querys or just crashed due to the load because they were not being optimised correctly. For this reason, I went ahead and created a system that would generate static HTML content from a database that could easily be managed.

Today, I notice sites like World of Warcraft using a similar technique to mine using XML, XSL and JSP to parse the static content whilst giving the site the flexibility to be managed by a none technical web content team.

Read on, if you want to learn how I created my CMS and gain access to the source.
